I started playing it on youtube, hope that's okay. I linked back to this page in the description and stuff. I'm still working my way through it but it's really good! :D
this was so relatable and lovely and I'm so glad I played it!! I laughed so much and screamed at all the good lines (there were a lot of good lines) and I was just so delighted by the characters... thank you so much for putting this game into the world!
THIS IS MY #1 FAVORITE GAY VN !!! it was so relatable and real, and it made me laugh all the way through!! i understood all of it and im so glad i beta tested it earlier and gosh ? I just love everythung about it, it was such a heartwarming game ill never ever get tired of it ? I even bought the art collection !! the art, the humor, the choices!! IT WAS ALL SO GOOD!! and that !! i, am an also asian lesbian who has dealt with LITERALLY ALL OF THIS?? IT JUST FELT SO REAL ?? GOSH THANK YOU,, thank you so much again for this game.
this game is so good... i bought the art book bc i love art books and this game and games in general and im just. astounded.
i'm an aspiring game dev and artist, so everything about this really inspires me to keep doing it even though i have no confidence in myself njsjnsjn
thank you god for this content
p.s. ive worked with ren'py before but i cant figure out how you did all those cool things like having the camera pan with the mouse and the online chat format.... game dev goddess?
THANK YOU FOR THE SUPPORT!! I really have no confidence in myself either, even after making Pom Gets Wi-Fi I was terrified beyond belief releasing Butterfly Soup because I didn't think it was very good. I'm glad this inspires you -- If I can do it, so can you!!! The camera pan script I found online, and the chat format was a HUGE PAIN for me to figure out and took an entire day. If you like I can send you the scripts for them!
This is such a great game! I mean I already have a soft spot for (gay) baseball stories but even beyond that, all of it felt so heartfelt and genuine! The way the story is told, the characters, the art, everything fit together really well and I enjoyed every second of it! Thank you for making this!
Also I saw some talk about translations in the other comments, if you need someone to translate it into German, I'd love to help out!
Honestly?? Most relatable game I've ever played in my life. I've been yearning for lesbian Asian baseball content ever since I watched Princess Nine as a wee lad and here it is, right in front of me. The dialogue is amazing and I audibly laughed SEVERAL times. You're incredibly talented.
Are you planning on expanding this universe in any way/shape/form? Because it's Very Good.
I'm so glad it's relatable and thank you for the compliment!! If there's enough demand for a sequel, I may try to launch a Kickstarter for it someday to raise funds!
i just wanted to say that i absolutely adore this game!!!! i fell in love with it when i beta tested in back in july, and couldn't stop playing it and just leaving it open in the background to listen to the music. everything feels so real and down to earth and the fact that it's so immersive just makes it all the more amazing!!! i really do sincerely love it and each and every one of the characters. thank you so much for taking the time to make such an amazing game!!!!
I just played the whole thing in one sitting and I loved it!! It reminded me a lot of what my childhood experiences were like.... like, eerily similar. It was indescribably heartwarming to play Butterfly Soup, thank you for making such a wonderful and sweet game.
Tbt to when all my friends would say "ok did you fail, or did you Asian fail" \o/
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT'S OUT IT'S OUT OH MY GOD I'M GOING TO PLAY IT RIGHT NOW I'M SO HYPED!!!! ALSO!!! I WOULD GLADLY HELP TO TRANSLATE THE WHOLE SCRIPT IN SPANISH SINCE IT'S MY MOTHER LANGUAGE!
Hello!!! This game has been absolutely adorable so far and I love it!!
I have run into an issue, though; when it shifts to text message sections, all the words disappear (both iconic usernames such as 'albert einstong' and the actual text they're typing); is there a font that's missing that has to be downloaded, or is this a mystery problem? Below's an example:
Gah I'm sorry you ran into this!! The font for the text messages is the same as the regular dialogue, so it's a mystery problem right now...Are you able to see the text in the history window? Also, what operating system are you playing the game on (Windows 7, etc.)?
The text in the history window's also invisible, aswell as the text in several other menu tabs such as About and Settings. I'm playing on a Windows 7 64bit system!!!
Yikes, I've had a friend on Windows 7 (also 64 bit) run into a similar issue before, except along with the menu/text messages not showing up, the side images (like sprites of Diya) also wouldn't show up! I think certain graphics cards for some reason interpret the way the game is displayed differently :( Could you check if your graphics card drivers are up to date?
If you close the game and access the menu through the main title, are you able to see the text then? Also, does it make a difference whether you're in windowed mode or fullscreen? I'm really sorry again for the inconvenience!
Hey I'm having the same problem, can you tell me exactly what you did to update it? I've tried following some online guides but I'm still pretty confused.
Hi, just here to tell you... this is probably one of the games I have the highest hopes for. The art style is adorable (except for some of the background images, which you've already listed as not permanent.)
And I'll be honest, I probably like all the characters a bit too much.
I'm also here to ask if this soon-to-be masterpiece is coming out in different languages? After all, I think everyone from anywhere should be able to play.
I'm really honored you have such high hopes for it!! I'd love for the game to be available in multiple languages, but since I don't have a translation team or budget, it's currently only coming out in English. All translations of my previous game were done by kind volunteers after its release, so it's hard to say if the same will happen with this one. If you or anyone else would like to help out with translating, please let me know, I'd be happy to help out however I can!
I would honestly LOVE to be able to help translate this. My native language is Turkish, so if you were willing, I'd be able to translate this entire script. And if it helps, I know some people who also have English as their second language/know some other language natively. I'm sure that I could have them help you with it as well. (I honestly just want some of my friends to be able to play this without me having to read behind their shoulders and translate for them, it's really troublesome.)
Thanks so much for the offer, I'm super excited thinking about releasing it with multilanguage support!! Since Itch.io doesn't have messaging yet, please contact me thru twitter/tumblr :>
I am so excited for this, although I really hope that this comment doesn't pressure you. Please work at your own pace, and we will play it once you are done! :D

The graphics driver was the problem, I updated it and everything's fine now, thank you very much! Can't wait to play this,
PHEW I'm so glad updating it worked!!! I hope you enjoy it!
